TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The World Bank recorded that there is a large gap between Indonesian and foreign laborers in relation to the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). One of the major issues faced by Indonesian laborers is the inability to speak good English, according to the World Bank.

"The use of English is still minimal," according to Salman Asim, an Economist with the Education GP Africa East and South at the World Bank on Monday, May 2, 2016.

On the other hand, other ASEAN countries that view Indonesia as one of the largest labor market, had urged their workforce to study the Bahasa Indonesia.

For example, Salman said that Thailand had recently organized a massive Bahasa Indonesia language course to prepare its workers to compete with Indonesian laborers. "Indonesian laborers must be able to compete [with foreign workers]," Salman said.

In addition, Salman also explained that President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo had issued three regulations focusing on different aspects, including facilitating easy investment to help accelerate infrastructure development; encouraging vocational education to prepare skill-oriented human resources; and strengthening Indonesia's position as maritime axis in the ASEAN region.

"The policies were made to prepare for global competition," Salman said.
